MA Gender Studies (Research)
Gender Studies explores the dynamics of relations between women and men in the past, present and future, and draws insights from across academic disciplines.
MA Gender Studies (Research) is a taught MA with ESRC 1+3 training recognition. The programme stands alone as an MA, but also prepares you to embark on doctoral research as year 1 of a 1+3 Masters/PhD programme.
This course is designed to provide comprehensive and advanced level academic training in social science research in Gender Studies.
The primary aim of the programme is to educate specialist social science researchers, who then have a wide range of methodological and epistemological approaches to Gender Studies and a broad range of practical, generic transferable research skills.
We recommend this MA if you are interested in developing skills as an independent researcher within the field of Gender Studies. If you would like to go on to study for an MPhil or a PhD, the MA Gender Studies (Research) will provide you with essential research training.
If, in the future, you would like to pursue a career involving social research, this programme will enable you to acquire the necessary experience and skills.
Postgraduate Diploma in Gender Studies (Research)
Available on a 12-month full-time basis, the Postgraduate Diploma in Gender Studies (Research) covers similar ground to the MA, but does not include the dissertation module.
On the basis of a good performance in a full-time student's first semester, students initially registered for the Diploma may be transferred onto the corresponding MA.
